Can you recommend a DIY book/bible

Looking to buy my husband a book on all things DIY. We have a major house renovation looming and whilst he is a. Pretty great at DIY anyway and b. we will have builders doing the work, I just know he'll want to get stuck into things. I've heard good things about the readers digest DIY book, but wondered if anyone had a recommendation.

We did up an entire house from the Collins one. Is it an old or modern house? The Collins edition we had, covered lots of traditional things like how to paint a panelled door/strip floorboards/mend stairs etc as well as more modern stuff.
